I use leveraged ETFs everyday and am well aware of the risks involved. Pulling retail access from them cripples the idea of a free market. Removing them does not make the market any less risky for retail investors, there are plenty of retail investors who have lost it all on worthless meme stocks such as $GME. This proposal makes no sense once its thought out and reduces 0 risk.
Been investing on a number of crypto currency. No has the right to control or force me to go through anyone or control my actions. If I Lose, that's on me. If I gain, that's on me as well.

I am an individual investor and have been trading since 1993. I have been through many difficult markets and I have increased my net worth many times over.
I have some of my money with a M.L. Wealth Advisor which I pay fees and I have been beating them hands over fists for years. Perhaps you should consider restricting Wealth Advisors as well.
Inverse funds are a great option to hedge against other family assets and liabilities.

I often use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my investments at a cheaper cost/risk than using options.

I am well aware of the risk involved and how they function. I do not need protection from myself and my investment
Gentlemen, I have a masters degree in Engineering. I have lost many thousands of dollars in these transactions. I have also lost more in traditional stock and real estate investments as well as made some earnings. My suggestion is that you can not protect me from myself and this applies to others. I understand the good intentions. However please consider going lightly with qualifications and
Using inverse indexes and leveraged funds is a key component of my investing strategy. It has helped immensely in the early portion of this year with significant market declines. My accounts are performing well ahead of the market. This has been true in the past several years through the use of both leveraged and inverse funds. Please allow me to continue to use these funds without proving my
I have been using leveraged etf's for 10 years...i like them...they allow me to invest a smaller percent of portfolio and still get a return. Trade frequently every week. The risks are well documented. What i dont like are ETNs that close during times of market volatility.
As far as i am concerned... I am an individual investor.....Who are you to tell me how much money i can make
Regulating my right to invest in public investments in any way is akin to the Jim Crow laws. My gains or losses in leveraged funds is not FINRA's concern. Brokerage houses do an excellent job at warning of the risks involved with investing as well as offering tools and educational resources. Private citizens, regardless of wealth or education, should NOT be impeded in ANY WAY from
